hey! i did it yesterday at my friends house, i knows its different as she knew but her family didnt and i had to sit at the dinner table sipping water..and going to the pub and not ordering anythings tough too...

you could just say it as it is.
you could also say that your feeling abit ill or youve had a stomach bug or food poisoning and dont want to risk eating anything just in case
...think the best option is just to say it as it is...either way theyll still enjoy your company! x

Hi Nat
yes, I have been in a few situations like that, although not to the extent you are in with it being new neighbours, etc.

Personally, what I would do.....go over and see her before tomorrow evening. Just explain about LT and say, "please dont be offended that I dont drink and eat"....it is the company at the end of the day you are going for, not the food and drink!!!

Take over a bobble of nice fizzy perrier water and have it in a nice wine glass.

Cant say it wont be hard, cause I think it will and I just hope the fact that you had a great loss this week will keep you motivated.

Whatever you do DONT DRINK ALCOHOL WHILST IN KETOSIS..very dangerous......

These are the challenges we will face and really, it is up to you to make the decision. I know I wouldnt eat or drink because it would just put me back and being on a roll, well,,,why jeopardise that for a few nibbles...etc...

Let us know how you get on though, but sure others will post and give their opinion.

Hi nat
they won't be offended just be honest and after all the company is more important than the nibbles and drinks. If you don't want them to know about LT just avoid the food and say you have had that much to drink over xmas time that you are sticking to water. Good luck these things are sent to try us.xx

You're dead right, I'm gonna be honest about it and tell it like it is. I was first tempted to say a white lie not because I'm not proud of what I'm doing but because some people are scared of TFR diets and think they're dangerous. My hubby was quite sceptical at first and thought I was gonna put my life at risk that way.

Anyway, I will tell her the truth and I'm sure she will understand. I'll keep you all posted!

Cheers again everyone and enjoy the evening!

PS: just had my very first chicken soup and it's not too bad! Granted it's a bit bland but at least it doesn't make me gag.

I agree with everyone else. Be straight, they will understand. It happened me a couple of times and I just told the truth. You won't feel a bit out of place as you will still have a glass in hand(just water) and hubby will make up for you!!!! He can eat twice as much.

Enjoy the evening and getting to know your new neighbours....honestly, I believe is the best policy..if not, then you end out lying and well, let's face it, starting a friendship, etc on lies, aint good!!!
